NASA Aircraft Design and Optimization in Aviary Internship
NASA Aircraft Design and Optimization in Aviary Internship
Engagement Opening: Aircraft Design and Optimization in Aviary (nasa.gov)
About this opportunity
Internships are educational hands-on opportunities that provide unique NASA-related research and operational experiences for educators and high school, undergraduate, and graduate students (age 16 and up). To learn more, visit
https://intern.nasa.gov
.
NASA has released an open-source aircraft design and optimization tool called Aviary (
https://github.com/OpenMDAO/Aviary
). Over the course of this internship, students will use Aviary to model novel and traditional aircraft or aircraft subsystems, test Aviary features, and contribute to Aviary software development by filling bug reports and submitting fixes. Examples of the work that previous interns have completed are available here (
https://github.com/OpenMDAO/Aviary_Community
).
Ideal candidates will display the following characteristics:
- An interest in working in aircraft design or optimization
- Pursuing a bachelors or higher degree in Aerospace engineering or Mechanical Engineering with an Aerospace Focus
- An expected graduation date of November 2025 or later.
- Completion of the 3rd year of your program by the internship start date of Summer 2025
- Familiarity with aircraft or aircraft component design challenges through classwork or hands-on work.
- Familiarity with python
- Familiarity with collaborative programming via GitHub
To be considered in the first round of candidates, please apply by October 25th, 2024.
Interviews will be concluded by November 15th, 2024 and final decisions should arrive in the December or January time frame.
Applications after this date will only be considered if not all slots are filled.
